Weekend Notes

1 of 3

I’m spending this Saturday at one of the best gigs ever as one of this year’s judges of Citywide 86’d, a heated cooking competition between Austin’s best restaurants. I’m so excited to taste exciting new flavor creations from some of the city’s most talented culinary pros. After channeling my inner Padma, I’ll head over to our new studio to tackle the mountain of boxes that awaits from this week’s moving adventures. We’re starting to put a dent in getting things organized, and I can’t wait until we’re all settled in — and ready to share photos! What are all of you up to? Cuddle up with a warm blanket and a cup of cocoa, and enjoy my favorite links from the week!
